In what manner does the penis grow back, out of a flatline?

    Like my dick shrunk. I don't get that? How'd it shrink? Dopamine sensitivity is the most obvious reason, but what about physiologically in the penis itself, how does it grow back? Nerves in the penis I presume?

    Yep very common. My own idea is that when you are low on energy, less blood flows there.

    And if I fantasize, or look at any arousing in material, It gets bigger again. And I don't mean it just gets bigger while I am looking. It gets bigger all day long. Even though limp, it's a bigger limp. And my mood is better.

    This is what makes flatlined so hard. You have to get worse before you get better

    My mood is bad constantly. I mean I can think of arousing things and it gets bigger but not entirely big. My libido is shot though. I think it's safe to say that this is PIED.

    you should really find patience and peace of mind and accept that you have PIED, eventually things will get better, but you have to stay away from any form of artificial stimulation forever. it will be extremely hard but it is the only way. flatline was really really bad for me also, i had to go to a psychologist on a regular basis. good luck.

    My penis will get a little big with blood, but then it shrinks. Is this flatline? I'm just making sure, sorry.

    mostly it is the PIED, you should stop watching it, basically just do not look at it or think about it for a while, work out, eat healthy, things will slooowly get better. At the bebinning it got worse for me, so do not get scared, wait it out. "if you walk through hell, keep walking"

    So PIED = flatline? As long as my symptom is PIED, the shrinking elasticity of the penis.

    PIED is porn induced erectile dysfunction, that is the general condition of having erection issues. Flatline is the time period of very low libido, so the two are different, sexual desire is not the same as physical erections, you can get a boner (with medication for example) but still can feel no desire to have sex.
    You really should just step away from the computer and rest for 90 days without any kind of stimulation, do not touch your penis except when you pee, do not think about sex, do not watch anything arousing, work out and eat healthy, and things will get better. i can see in your threads that you're freaking out, and that does not help. be patient, humble and just take a 90 days break from it all. good luck

    I must have both right now because my penis shrunk and I have no libido. I get no erections either and can't get aroused. So do I have both at once or just a flatline?

    I'm on 27 days of no PMO, so far. I'm going to continue. It must be the flatline that makes it easier.

    My story is similar to others have been an over-the-road truck driver since 1981 I have had 9 back and three neck surgeries since 07 doctors had me on 360 mg of oxy's a day for 8 years.
    I am not bragging by any means but my penis was almost 9 in Long since then it is down to less than half that erect.
    And 55 years old so I know age has something to do with it but damn losing 5 in opiates played in Major part but even now when I get excited it doesn't even get as big soft as it used to be so that interns has given me rather low self-esteem trust me when you go from 9 to 4 you get a complex about everything performing Etc what I would like to know is if it is reversible by using a pump I don't want to take the blue pill...I wanted to be back permanent to where it was again swinging low and satisfying my partner instead of having to worry if she's going to feel it and make the old joke is it in yet.
    I'm being very serious as I just became a member to write this post there has to be something I can do to get some permanent length and girth back
    Haven't been with anybody in a while so when I take matters in my own hand it's not impressive so to me a woman wouldn't think so either.
    Other than some smartasses that I'm sure will reply to this have been Trucking since 81 3 million accident free miles so I've been around the block a few times would like some helpful info for this problem there has to be something if I got to use the pump that's fine but I want it to be permanent any replies will be appreciated thank you

    Do you think you lost size due to having ED issues?

    No...was never ever a problem could get excited even while on the oxys....
    , actually my neurosurgeon brought it to my attention that the longer I took them the more chance of it shrinking course I didn't like that at all but I can tell you it is true

    They didn't give you any info as to why you experienced such major shrinkage????
     
  17. I lost 1 to 1.5 inches sometime during a 16 month interval. But during that time I had 1) serious escalation of my porn video use and 2) new meds for ADD. So I'm not sure which caused it. I'm also 63, so that might have a part in it, too.

    For me it stayed tiny the entire flatlining process. Even with a BJ from a girl kept it pretty small. After i cured, and had full erections for long time after months it kinda stretched the dick into staying long even when limp. The libido from the body and mind keeps it long too during the day. Just survive the flatline and you will be fine. Your dick will get hard and stay hard on command. Be patient brother.
     
  19. needed to read this also

    flatline feels like the dick goes back into the body

    I am getting occasional morning wood but libido is decreased (very much I would say). I am on day 19 of no PMO (would have been on day 36 had I not masturbated on day 17). My query is how long will it take to get my libido back and what are the things I have to avoid besides PMO and fantasizing about sex? Should I stop touching my penis (it gets erect when I stimulate it even without fantasizing)?
